[edit] History

This electoral district was formed in 1914 from Vancouver City riding.

In 1996, it was abolished and used to create Vancouver South—Burnaby with portions of New Westminster—Burnaby.

Vancouver South was re-created in 2003 when the Burnaby sections were moved into the new ridings Burnaby—Douglas and Burnaby—New Westminster.

[edit] Current Member of Parliament

Its Member of Parliament is Ujjal Dosanjh, a former lawyer and provincial premier. He was first elected in the 2004 election. He represents the Liberal Party of Canada. Prior to the Liberal Party's defeat in the 2006 election, he served in the Cabinet as the Minister of Health.

A recount was ordered for the 2008 election results. Dosanjh led Conservative challenger Wai Young by just 33 votes, which automatically qualified for a judicial recount. After the official recount, Dosanjh's margin of victory dropped to 22 votes. However, Young appealed the results on the basis that only 28 of 184 ballot boxes were recounted. Dosanjh won by 20 votes after a 2nd full recount.
